Landmarks
The Cadet and counselor landmarks are the guideposts in the adventure called cadeting. The landmarks are something every Cadet and counselor must memorize and understand so that they will discover how the Lord is at work in their lives. They include understanding the meaning of the Cadet emblem and memorizing the verse, hymn, pledge, motto, code, and mission statement (counselors only).
At the opening of a Cadet meeting, the head counselor should ask for a response to these statements: Cadets and counselors, what is your verse? (verse recited); What is your pledge? (pledge recited); What is your motto? (motto recited); What is your code? (code recited); And counselors, what is your mission statement? (mission statement recited by the counselors) and then the Cadet Hymn should be sung by everyone. If you want the complete recommendations for opening exercises and other key counselor information — download the “Gold Sheet.”
Emblem
The three Cs in the center of the shield have special meaning. Not only do they represent The Calvinist Cadet Corps name … they form a cross. This reminds us of God’s Son, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins.
